One advantage of reading a serial story in a daily newspaper is that an installment of convenient length is received every day that does not consume an undue amount of the reader's time. An installment of a high-grade serial story appears in every issue of The Chicago Record-Herald, a popular feature of that enterprise Chicago daily. Among the successful stories which have recently been enjoyed by Record-Herald readers are "Graustark," by B. G. McCutcheon; "When Knighthood Was in Flower," by Charles Majors; and "Alice of Old Vinecens," by Maule Thompson. Every issue contains also a short illustrated "human interest" story on the editorial page. Readers of The Chicago Record-Herald can depend on a never-failing source of pleasant entertainment in the noteworthy fiction that is always to be found in its columns.

As it is at present, it cannot be rendered sanitary except by total obliteration. EDITORIALS. It seems as though it is hard for some people in the south to ascertain the President's southern policy, but if they read the letter that he sent to Clark Howell last week they will know his attitude. There is enough in that letter to last Tillman and his followers until they are numbered among the dead. At last there is a president that will draw no color line when we have the qualities, and moreover he is not afraid to let the world know it. The editorial writer of the Daily Register and Leader says: "There will be a miscarriage of justice in Des Moines if Walker is punished for killing Frankelstein, while the man or men who instigated the crime are allowed to escape." Why was Walker kept in jail from the 5th of last August to February without being given a trial? Was it on account of his color or because he had no money? Then during his trial it seems as though the state was very active in employing good attorneys besides the one that is elected to do the prosecution for the state, and it is alleged that the police officials used their utmost efforts to convict Walker. But another year hence and perhaps we will have different men as police officials. If Walker is guilty he should receive the penalty of the law, but we hope that the men that are to administer the law of Justice as it appears on our statute books, and will not let the complexion of a person or the testimony of someone with an ill-repute character convict a person charged with a crime. SERIOUS ACCIDENT. GEO. Calloway, the 14 year old son of Waddy Calloway, was instantly killed last Saturday afternoon at the Agar Packing Co., while working around the shaft of a hoisting machining, his whip that he was using to drive hogs was fastened to his wrist, and in some way it came in contact with the shaft while in operation and his left arm was torn from the body at the socket, while both limbs were torn out at the knees, the severing of the limbs which were caught in the machinery threw the body back to the floor where it was dicovered lifeless. He was a very industrious youth and was attending school and had only begun work that day about 11.00 o'clock. His father is a gardener and lives at 14th, and Railroad Avenue. The funeral service was heft from the Corinthian Baptist church conducted by Rev. T. L. Griffith last Monday. A large number of friends was present. The BvSTANDER extend their condolence with their many friends. The miner's annual state convention convened here this week.

Hear and Gailor Clash on Race Question Senator and Tennessee Bishop, at the Union League Banquet, digress from the Subject of Washington and Discus Position of the Negro in the United States. Senator Hoar touched on the negro question in referring to a statement in an afternoon paper that were a person in company with George Washington today he would be in bad conditions because the counsel which he gave his countrymen in "76 would be bad counsel now. "And I see that my excellent friend, Secretary Rohr, thinks something of the same way of Lincoln," the senator said. "He says that reconstructions and the achievements which followed the civil war have been a failure. "Now, I do not believe that when Secretary Root goes out of office he will gain a monopoly in the business of thinking for the people in questions of righteousness and liberty. He will not be employed to send news to the great dalles from the Philippines. (Lautegner). Mr. Root thinks that this man has all of us who have reached an awake age have had something to do, has been a failure in relation to the negro. "In the first place, we freed the negro. They do not separate the negro's wife from him, or his children from him, any more; they do not whip women or sell their children; they do not prevent them from working; they do not make it a crime to teach him to read the Bible. Is that a failure? "He has had but forty years. Now, if there is one generation in this world's future, he should or as great a thing would like to invite them or their defenders to show their title. "Look at Harvard. Dear old President Eliot takes no greater delight than in telling of the grand accomplishment of some negro boy who heads his classes. Young Bruce and Lewis graduated there with first honors, and not one classmate knew or cared for the difference in his color in their treatment. This cannot be the failure Secretary Root speaks of. "I know how sensitive our southern friends are on this matter of social equality and companionship, and I may say that it is not wise for the people of the north to undertake to deal rashly or to judge harshly of a feeling so deeply implanted in their bosoms. They know something about it, and while any negro who is a gentleman would be welcome at my table, they would not be allowed any time (aplause). I will not attempt to thrust my judgment in this matter upon the man who has been differently educated. "Time, the great reconcilator, will reconcile them to that, if, in the nature of things and in the nature of man, they ought to be reconciled to it. And if, in the nature of things and in the nature of man, they ought not reconcile them, it will be a sign that they ought not to be reconciled to it and that some of her mode of life for them must be devised." Senator Hoar closed his address with touching tribute to the greatness of the souls of four of the greatest men the south, in his opinion, had produced. "I did not wish to touch upon this question," Bishop Gallor said, in the opening of his address, referring to the negro question. "But the last speaker, in his pleasant tribute to the greatness, has given me the right in goodness, of spirit, to say something on it. "You must remember that the negro has no more sincere friends than those in the south. We know him better than the northerner, and, in all fairness, we doubt whether, as a race, he has any special equipment without the contact of a superior race. It is his insane ambition to gain control of political machinery rather than turn his mind to elevating pursuits of merchandising that has brought upon him much caution and concern. You must recall, in speaking of Booker Washington, and other distinguished negroes, that they are not of pure negro blood. Those of the race who have attracted public attention by their accomplishments are blacks. Bishop Gallor spoke of a recent magazine article which stated that if the white men of the south prevented the negroes marrying white women they would take advantage of the white women in other ways. He defended them such sentiment caused resentment. "The unrestricted political rights granted the negro do not show that all negroes have gained by suffrage," the bishop said. "This is undoubtedly what Secretary Root meant in his expression on this question. Men of single ideas should not be allowed to prejudice those who have sextional questions to settle, and to draw these prejudices into great political questions." In this connection Bishop Gallor spoke of the danger of individualism, and once mentioned President Roosevelt. The mention of the president's name was greeted with continued chatter. The unexpected discourses on the negro question and the plain words by the opposing speakers created considerable of a sensation among the banqueters. They kept the utmost attention to the material, frequently they applauded the sentiments expressed by the speakers. The banquet room was beautifully decorated with the Elbright system of lighting, bright incandescent bulbs being scattered over the tables and outlining the flags and decorations. About 250 club men attended. OPTUMWA Special to Bystander. Mrs. Gordon was hostess for the Idea Wells Reading Circle. The meeting was open at 3 o'clock by the President, Mrs. Z.

Dubuque is alive with its bustling street cars and busy streets, the windows are decorated in Easter fashion, all go to show that Dubuque is indeed a metropolitan city. The social club has been holding regular meetings and has become quite interesting. The last quarter was taken up with the study of dierant literary authors. The club met last Monday evening with Mrs. Gertrude Davis Evans; after a very intime programme light refreshments were served. The members and friends of the A. M. church gave Rev. and Mrs. Bass a surprise last Thursday night, by walking in and leaving a supply of the necessaries of life.

Ferriebite the pastor feels highly gratified over the abundant success of the meetings, in which many souls were brought to Christ and several ascensions to his church. Mrs. Jue.

Master Byron Wade branched down the house, when he spoke at the Junior League Tenderance meeting Sunday evening at the M. E. church (white). He spoke on the temperance cause. Misses Martie Knox and Fannie Clark were Galesburg visitors Sunday. Well, what do you think, Knoxville is having he stairs renamed and houses numbered. I wonder if she is going to have free delivery?

Miss Cora Vesey of Kincville is anticipating a visit with her sister in Moontown next week. Ms. Pleasant certainly will lead in her libraries, as was stated in her last weeks items she would have a $14,000,000 one. Others will have to "Go way back and fall down." Can it be possible? [It should have read $14,000.00 — Bd.] Mackinook is up to date in one thing if she has part gone over to Button, and that is she has teachers meetings, which is a rare thing now a day in our Sunday School. Miss Margaret Coleman's paper entitled "Pearls of the Twentieth Century" in last week's BYSTAND, under the heading of Club and Club Women, is work of much praise, and should be read by our boys and girls by all means. Being personally acquainted with Miss Coleman for a number of years, we are not at all surprised at the literary ability, and success thereof, for which we must congratulate her on. Let the good work continue, and may more of our young girls and boys follow on suite. Mr. Thos. Taylor formerly of Muckknook but now of Dunfermline, is a delegate to the State Convention of the United Mine Works, at Springfield. Galeebury has three churches of color —A. M. E. Rev. J. H.

What Has Been Going on During the Past Week. Robbers Secured $180 Left on the Safe Which Contained $25,000. But Which For Unknown Reasons They Did Not Crack. Des Moines, March 4—Two men who robbed the Bank of Runnels at 2 o'clock yesterday morning and secured $180 spent the day in Des Moines, driving here from the bank to watch which they stole from the livery stable of Andrew Martin of that place. They arrived here at an early hour in the morning and were resident of Sheriff Mattern, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth on East Walnut street, crossed the city and made their way to Valley Junction, where they met a Rock Island freight and made their escape. Ell Hardin, chief of detectives, was notified of the crime yesterday morning and at once detailed Detectives McNutt and Walsh on the Bern Gilbert, cashier of the bank, said he was in the middle of the night and gave the police department descriptions of the men that are thought to have done the job. He "As near as we are able to tell the robbery was committed some time along about 2 in the morning. The robbery was committed and as there was nothing that would be of any use to them in the outer office at once began work on the vault. We found that the dial of the vault had been blown off and then an explosive of some sort had been placed in the vault. We found that the dial touched off all that remained to be done was to open the door and they were in the vault. On one of the shelves we had $150.00 silver that was in the vault and every cent of this was gone." "In the vault, the safe in which we keep the money that is on deposit, and if the Burglar had succeeded in opening this they would have found $25,000. They evidently knew that what was in this safe was no doubt what they were after, for the seams had been soaped and cup placed under the dial ready to knock it off with an explosive. Why they didn't do the job was because there was no money to some noise frightened them away and in this way we were saved from a big loss. This is the condition that we found the safe in when we discovered the robbery in the morning, so we will probably never know who they were right within reach of all this money." IOWA COAL NEAR TOP. It Beats Alabama and Illinois Soft Coal Ames, March 6.—During the past year the department of mechanical engineering has determined the heat making power of samples of coal from a mine representing all of the important mining districts. The average of all samples tested shows Iowa coal to have a heat making value of approximately 11,100 heat units (a heat unit is the temperature of one pound of water one degree). The maximum and minimum results were 13,200 and 5,580 heat units respectively. Concurrent tests of an ore coal gave 12,500, of foundry coke 12,150 and of Beamment crude 19,100. Chemical tests on Iowa and competing soft coal show that Iowa coal is higher in combustible material than coal from other mines, a little lower than Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia coals. Some Iowa coals are high in sulphur and others are high in ash, which facts account for difficulties experienced in using domestic and steam making purposes. Actual use of Iowa coals under boilers for steam making shows that the cost of fuel for producing 1,000 pounds of steam ranges from 15 cents with slack at $1.45 to 25 cents with lump coal costing $2.55 per ton. HOLD-UP JOWNED AND CAUGHT Man Who Has Been Doing an Extensive Business in Council Bluffs. Council Bluffs, March 5. A man entered Letchford's meat market and at the point of a revolver demanded the contents of the cash drawer. The man then entered Letchford and transfer Letchford grabbed the revolver held by the thief and fired at him. Thinking he had killed the hold-up Letchford ran for help and when he returned found the man gone leaving, and the thief in the house and the thief was arrested with an accomplice in a disorderly house. It is thought that the two are responsible for the numerous burglaries occurring lately in the city. SIOUX CITY GETS THE PLANT. Million Dollar Packing Establishment Is Now Assured.

Two Killed by an Explosion. Stockport, Feb. 28- Anton Nicee and his son, George, were killed in the explosion of the boiler at the grist mill. The roof of the building was blown off, and it is a total wreck. The explosion was so severe as to shake the entire river bed across the river, half fully a it is learned from reliable sources that parties are buying land for the right of way of the new railroad from Newton to the northwest and also for the interurban between Newton and GIVEN DENOUNCES LEVICH. In Sentencing Walker, the Judge Says Levich is Custify. Des Moines, March E- M. Walker, indicted on the charge of murdering Issue Finkelstein on the night of August 5, 1902, tried on that indictment but convicted of manslaughter was yesterday sentenced to Fort Madison at hard labor for a period of eight years, the extreme penalty for manslaughter. A motion in arrest of judgment and for a new trial was argued almost the entire forenoon, counsel for the defense claiming errors on the part of the court and that they were with the instructions. Judge Given overruled both motions and administered judgment. In pronouncing sentence Judge Given created a profound sensation by his reference to Harry Levich and the same John Neuberber and acquired. The judge said, in part: "I need only add to what I have said that the jury have in effect found that Harry Levich, being in emity with Isaac Finkelstein, being too cowardly to make the assault himself, as he did you to make that assault for him What the inducement was must be left to him. That assault was made murderously, remorselessly and very wickedly by whoever made it. Having done what he would have done it is difficult to see at first glance why they did not find you guilty of murder in the first degree. If you did the killing, you did it by lying in wait you did it with malice afterthought and grieve. You did it with malice afterthought and grieve. The deadly weapon you used the time and place it was procured and the manner of the assault tends strongly to show that the killing was willful, deliberate, premeditated and murder in the first degree. The murder in the first degree. The jury seem to have concluded and not as I have already said in ruling upon your motion without reason for the conclusion, that neither you nor Levich in tended the taking of the weapon that you should be humiliated by being beaten and in fured. "As I have said, it is a conclusion somewhat difficult to reach in the presence of the weapon that I have no doubt as used and used against me, and that the province of the jury. If they reached that conclusion I am bound by it. Again as in every instance of pronouncing judgment arising upon circumstantial evidence the jury is the very fact. But John Walker I must accept the finding of this jury as to the fact that induced by Harry Levich so to do; that you assaulted and beat and killed him, and that you failed to kill only in failing to injure, not to kill, and therefore you are guilty of manslaughter, a most aggravated case of manslaughter. The judgment of the court is that you be confined to the penitentiary at Fort Madison for As a result of the Walker conviction and sentence and Judge Given's scoring arraignment of Levich it is highly probable that the present grand jury will commence another investigation and returned against Levich. He cannot be tried for the Finkelstein murder again, his life once having been put in jeopardy for that crime already, but the prosecutors are understood to be working on the matter and considering the best possible treatment for conspiracy to murder or even for some more serious offense. CONGRATULATES HENDERSON. President Writes Late Leader of House Letter of Approval. Washington, March 5—President Roosevelt yesterday afternoon sent a letter of which the following is a copy: "To the President, I thank the Speaker of the House of Representatives: White House, Washington, March 4, 1903. My Dear Mr. Speaker: As I did not see you today at the capitol, I will not give you a greetigrate you on the work accomplished by the congress which has just closed. 'There were certain measures of importance, the failure to act upon it, the great regret to the congress, is nevertheless taken as a whole no other congress of recent years has to its credit a record of more substantial achievement for the public good that this, over the lower class, has done to grativate you and it; and I wish you well wherever your future may lead you. Sincerely yours, Theodore Roosevelt. H. D. B. Henderson, House of Representatives. IOWA MINERS IN SESSION. Important Action Taken by Members of Convention. Des Moines, March 6. The delegates to the mine workers' convention at the meeting of things at their sessions yesterday. They voted to establish a defense fund in Iowa; to establish a system of co-operative stores, the stock in inventory of the members of the United Mine Workers of America, or members of other labor unions for the purpose of fighting the system of company stores now in operation; to increase the salaries of the state of Iowa; to increase the number they would affiliate with the Iowa State Federation of Labor. Judge Indignant at Sherif's Action. Knoxville, March 5—Judge Gamble publicly rebuked Sherif Bybee on the streets because the sheriff had taken Frank Baird, who was under an eighteen-year bond, and the Sullivan robbery, to the penitentiary by way of Creston where he was permitted to say good-bye to his friends and where a good deal of demonstration was made over the matter, and he had to explain the matter and that he had good sons for acting as he did. Terrible Pilge of Mr. McClain. Dubuque, March 6—In Flinley hospital lies a man with neither arms nor a head, and he is not indicated in an endeavor to save his life. His name is McClain, living near Zwingle. He was found nearly frozen to death some days ago while on his return home. He has have but slight hope in his recovery. Pattee's Condition Serious. Perry, March 5—The reports which are received daily from Harry Pattee are not at all encouraging to his friends. His fever remains high. He is suffering from a severe but usually wasting away. The outlet wound has healed, but the trouble within grows more alarming from day to day. Burglar at Ferguson. Marshalltown, March 4—The shoe store of E. C. Arney at Ferguson was robbed by a man with the value of $50 stolen. There is absolutely no clue to the robbers. Washington, March 1—House—The house of representatives hold a four-hour session today and put a trict of Columbia's constitutional bill in the face of a parliamentary stage in the face of the democratic filibuster. The previous question on the conference report on the Alaskan state's federal adoption will be taken tomorrow. That was the net result of the Sunday session. Although it was by the calendar, it was still Thursday, according to parliamentary fiction. Washington, March 2- Senate--The senate today passed the new deficiency bill after four hours' consideration and after it had been amended by Mr. Rawlins for an appropriation of $50,000,000 to further the work of irrigating the arid lands furnished material for considerable discussion, the stimulus in the treasury could be better used in this manner than by turning it into the national banks. The amendment was rejected on a point of order. When Mr. Rawlins told Teller continued his remarks begun Saturday. He was followed by Mr. Carmack, who replied to some criticisms of a recent speech made by him in the House, calling the course of the day the conference report on the fortifications appropriation bill and the Alaskaan homestead bill were agreed to. The immigration bill was still building bills were sent to conference. Washington, March 3—Senate—The final defeat of the Aldrich financial bill was witnessed today, when it was displaced by the Philippine tariff bill. Mr. Aldrich explained in detail his measure and said that a small number of men in the senate had deliberately, and unlawfully, discharged the Aldrich. One of the features of the senate was the fact that for the first time in two years, Delaware was represented in the senate. J. Frank Allee and L. Heisler Hall, elected for the long term in the senate, had successive platforms with respect to statehood for Arizona, Oklahoma and New Mexico, and he said that it was the first time that party had been guilty of filibustering. Some senators have been announced to the general deficiency bill to the effect that the house conferences had refused to accept the senate amendment providing for the payment of the South Carolina tax, a stack of books beside his desk as high as the desk, while on the desk was a volume of Byron's poems open at the "Vision of Judgment." "It is a just and just justice," he said. I will defeat both the remaining bills and force an extra session of both houses of congress. I can till until 12 o'clock tomorrow and that is all that is necessary for the accounment amendment was accepted. The naval bill, as agreed upon at 1:40 a.m. m., provides for three battleships of 16,000 displacement and two battleships of 13,000 displacement and end of service cruisers.

Mr. Allison, chairman of the committee on appropriations, made a statement regarding the amount of money appropriated by the present congress as compared with the appropriations of the Fifty-sixth congress. The total appropriations present congress, was $1,554,109,518 as compared with $1,440,498,438 for the Fifty-sixth congress. Mr. Bailey of the called up a bill amending the river and harbor laws and provide the appropriate appropriations for certain river and harbor improvements in Texas shall be used for the construction of a channel in San Lake, Texas. Mr. Bailey's vote demanded by the senate to take the bill up 41 to 9. The effect of the vote was to displace the Philippine tariff bill. It was then temporarily laid aside and spoken on the bill. The senate has not talked to death, he said. This was not in criticism of senators who think that in the closing hours of the session this remedy shall not be dealt with in an hour. He made, he said, the house, the senate, and the house of representatives are not able to govern a people, 8,000 miles away who have no voice in the government. "He said, 'great object lesson,'" he said, "of the injustice of what the American people did some years ago in regard to these people." After a lengthy interchange in debate between Senator Mason and others, Philippine officials without account attended, the senate at 12 o'clock adjourned. House.—The Fifty-seventh congress expired at noon today by limitation. There has not been in many years such a demonstration in the house as occurred today, owing to the fact that Speaker Henderson was retiring not only as presiding officer of the house, but as a member. The speaker felt feeling up in the house during the past week reached the pitch which prevented the speaker receiving the unanimous approval of the house for which the usual resolution of thanks and courtesies forced the speaker to come from the republican side and while this has occurred before, it is not the usual custom. The usual resolution of thanks to President pretence Froy was unanimous in motion introduced by Payne and finally adopted by the house is as follows: "Resolved, That the thanks of this house are presented to the Honorable David B. Henderson, speaker of the house of representatives for the able, impartial and dignified service delivered over its deliberations and performed the ardous and important duties of the chair during the present term of congress." As all of the important supply bills had passed when the two houses took recess this week, the bill was passed and none was attempted. The bills which had passed and reached the stage of enrollment were all signed by President Roosevelt, with members of his cabinet occupied the president's room in the office of the president to the capital is one of the features of a closing congress.

It is said that during the civil war, Wendell Phillips was spending a day at a hotel in Springfield, Mass., when a "copperhead" guest entered into a conversation with him, not knowing he was. After violently anathmatizing all Abolitionists, and especially Mr. Phillips, the gentleman added: "And when the day, I see that Wendell's proper name is on the hotel "Yes," said the latter, with an air of utter unconcern; "I wrote it there." When Sidney Lee delivered his first lecture in the Lowell Institute course, he spoke of those Americans who went to England and achieved distinction there and thus obtained a place in "National Dictionary of English Biography." He referred to his residence of Count Rumford in dumford, N. H., afterward called Concord, which, the lecturer said, warmth, is a name known to the learned throughout the world. This palpable confession of the Concord, N. H., Mass, was too much for the gravity of the audience, and their amusement increased when some realized that the chief literary renown of Concord, N. H., comes at the present time from "Mother" Eddy! Mrs. Bowen, wife of Herbert W. Bowen, United States minister to Venezuela, who is acting as Venezuela's commissioner, was, before she was married, a Galveston girl. Their wedding took place in Caracas, and soon afterward, it is said, a revolutionary army and a government by chance on behalf of behind the legation, which is located in the cavalry of Caracas. When the Mausers began to pop and the flash of the rifles showed red on the verdant hillside, Mrs. Bowen scouted long before inured to warfare of the callinec continuously served up in Venezuela, was unconsciously puffing a cigar. "Why, what is the matter?" she asked the climber, and although it was the first time of firing, "only a battle," Mr. Bowen replied. "But are we not in danger?" Mr. Bowen assured her of the mild nature of the battles, and although it was the first time of returning complacently to her needlework and never after allowed the scares about Venezuela "wars" and "battles" to perturb her.

He was the ad- vance guard of a large body who are following him, and he has already in- vested in several farming sections for Bimeelt and others and purposes to take up his permanent abode in this country. He went on to say: “Hum dreds are coming from my dlstrict alone. I know this to be a fact for ‘many of thom are neighbors of mine, ‘The chief tople of conversation with tho farmers is the coming immigra- ton in the spring. “The impression general in the part of Dakota where I live that farmers can get from 10 to 15 cents more a bushel for wheat on the American elde of the line than on the Canadian has not prevented people from turning thelr eyes to Canada as a piece to live in. They know they can got land in this country which Is every bit as fertile as that in Dakota at about one quarter the price.

He alleged that Mrs. Gal- laugher the night after the murder gave him her watch to conceal, and her revolver to do with as he saw ft The revolver, he said, he had returned to her the Wednesday before the mur. for.

They Are Found From the Big Stuck-Up Negro, Clear Down to the Little We have some of the best people on earth taking this paper. A LARGE MAJORITY of our readers and patrons are the best-paying people, and are sure of Heaven when they die. And on the other hand, we have some of the biggest liars you over saw. They don't do a thing but just rob us out of our time and money. They make the collectors sweet promising lies right along. They are in all classes, from the BIG, STUCK-UP NEGRO Straight Down to the little fellow. Some are principals of the public schools. Some are lawyers. Some are women putting on lots of style, and want to be considered Miss or Mrs. So and So. They have the collector to call, causing him to spend money for car fare besides losing his time. The collector has been their houses so often that these promisers can tell him when they see him a way off, so they send one of their children, or some other one, to the door to lie for them, and say he or she is not in. All this is done because they owe us a few dimes, and are too mean to pay it. And when the collector finally runs them down, they have a number of faults to find. Some of these dead-beats say: I didn't want the paper no how. I just took it because it was a Colored paper, and I wanted to help. A FINE WAY TO HELP, by having us to pay out money for printing and mailing the paper, and then fail to pay for it. We intend to let everybody know who comes to this office who these dead-beats are.

The fiction of the mysterious lodestone mountain which drew the nails out of ships that approached near enough has a certain foundation in fact, says a French paper, only the fact has suffered expansion. On the coast of Norway, near Joel Jørn, there is a sand dune of nearly three-quarters of a mile in length. The sand is mixed with particles of lodestone, and when a ship comes in the vicinity the compass becomes irregular and the vessel is entangled in a kind of whirpool and throws sasha. --- The Battle Ground of Modern Thought The Chicago Record-Herald has conceived the unique idea of assigning a page of its Sunday edition to the public for the free discussion of important questions of the day. Under the head "The Battle Ground of Modern Thought" an opportunity is offered to the public for the same discussion of all problems engaging the attention of the American people. Writers of ability present their views on subjects not generally treated in the daily press, and Record-Herald readers generally are invited to join the debate. The fairest, most forceful and original contributions are published. The following are a few of the subjects which have been discussed since this department was first established. "Is Blacklisting Within the Law?" "Trusts and the Proper Way to Regulate Them." "Great Peril That Usets Pagan Chins. Liquor Trade and Its Evil Consequences." "Are Free Books Wanted in Public Schools?" "luthumanity to Animals." The Record Herald disclaims any responsibility for the dogmas upheld, the theories advanced or the panaceas advocated. It reserves the right only to preserve order, to keep out personalities and rancor and to see that good temper and cander characterize the discussions.

Dumas' Generosity In his biography of Alexander Dumas Harry A. Snurr says that the imp provident French author, who hated avarice, was once waiting in line for his cloak at a soiree, when he saw a millionaire give a tip of 10 cents to the servant who handed out his palet. Dumas, getting his cloak, threw down a $20 note. "Pardon, sir, you have made a mistake, I think," said the man, offering to return the note. "No, friend," answered Dumas, casting a disdainful glance at the millionaire, "it is the other gentleman who has made the mistake." Guns Cast Into the Sea The armament of Fort Sillem, consisting of two 38-ton and two 18-ton guns, has lately been condemned as usable service. On consideration it was found that the freight of these guns to England would be greater than their present intrinsic value, and that they could not be offered for sale in Malta, as there are not the requisite tools for breaking them up and utilizing their iron and steel. The four guns were consequently thrown into the sea at Ghar-Iddud, near Fort Sillem. Indignation. "Aren't you sometimes a little conscience-strenken when you think of the advantages you take of the public?" "Not at all," answered Senator Sorghun. "Look at the men of genius the public has permitted to starve. Look at t e heroes whose sacrifices are not acknowledged even by a tablet of stone. Any little thing I can do toward getting even with the public gives me sincerce moral satisfaction.—Washington Star. The Actor's Handicap. To a group of friends Ellen Terry once said: "A ting is not like drawing. You make a line. If it is wrong you rub it out at once and make another. With acting that is impossible; there is no altering—it must stand, I often feel as if I must cry to the audience, 'Oh, that is wrong, not as I meant it to be; let me act that sort or sentence over again.'"

France shipping With a national debt of $6,000,000-000 and a population practically at a standstill, with a costly standing army and an expensive navy, France is staggering under a heavy load. Perhaps her shoulders are strong enough and broad enough to bear it, but the arms may come some day despite French confidence in the stability and financial resources of the republic—Bahrain more Sun. Mahonany and White Pine Mahogany and White Pine. For twenty-nine years not a stick of old San Domingo mahogany has been obtainable, according to a local dealer in antique furniture, and, on the authority of one of our leading Bath lumbermen, there is not in all Maine a good sized white pine tree standing. The San Domingo mahogany is all scrub trees and the Maine pine is scrub pine. The old-fashioned pine trees which made the fame of Maine were probably all of them from 300 to 400 years in obtaining their growth. This is the reason, or one reason, why old furniture, made of the woods available a century ago are so much in demand, and why it commands its high prices. Modern mahogany is much lighter than in the old pieces and no longer comes from San Domingo. As for the old-time pine, it is now out of the market.—Bath Times. HE GOT THE CLOAK. Enterprising Thief Saw Opportunity to Make a Barrel "Billy" Wiel, gambler, is well remembered by many a New Yorker who patronized $18 Broadway in the good old days, when it was the Canfield's of the city. This famous gaming resort was the third building below Twelfth street, east side of Broadway. Its owners were James E. Kellan, Lucen Appleby and Tom Grady. Wiel dealt faro there. One day he stopped before a fur house window in Fourteenth street to admire some cloaks there displayed, and, seeing one much to his liking, remarked to a friend, "I'd give $150 for that," then passed on. That night a man with a bundle rapped at the wicket gate in $18. "What is it?" asked Wiel. "Here's your cloak," replied the stranger, pushing it through the opening. "I heard you say you'd give $150 for it. Fork over the money," The fellow, a noted thief, had stolen it on hearing Wiel's remark.—New York Press. HAD BECOME SECOND NATURE. Buspicions of a Schoolmaster Not Easily Allayed. The old schoolmaster was deeply affected. His scholars, noticing the diapidated appearance of his chair, had presented him with a new one for Christmas. "My dear boys," said the kindly old pedagogue, with tears in his eyes, "I can never hope to tell you how you have made me feel by this token of your love for me. All I can do is to thank you for the sacrifices you have made of your little purses for the sake of my comfort. If you have found me severe at times, I trust you realize that it has always been for your own good. I hope to always have your full confidence, as you have ever had mine." As the old schoolmaster prepared to sit down in his new chair he consciously ran his hand over the seat in search of bent pins. The Smithsonian Institution has published a new edition of Dr. Langley's "Experiments in Aerodynamics" first printed eleven years ago. In summing up, Dr. Langley speaks of the prospects for the future somewhat as follows: Since that time, he says, he has demonstrated that mechanical flight is possible by actually performing it with steel flying machines nearly a thousand times heavier than air, driven by steam. These machines weighed from thirty to forty pounds and flow from a half to three-quarters of a mile at speeds varying from twenty to thirty miles an hour. It is believed by Dr. Langley that the time is now very near when human beings will be transported at high velocities, though perhaps at first under exceptional conditions, such as are demanded in the arts of war rather than of peace. A saltcellar of the spacious times of great Elizabeth has been sold at auction in London for the amazing sum of £3,000. Only a saltcellar! And there is no authentic proof that the lion-hearted ruler of the England of Shakespeare and of Burleigh and the other men of high renown who lived in the latter part of the marvelous sixteenth century ever took salt from this small dish. If such a bit of tableware sells for £3,000, what would be a fair price for a genuine Elizabethan platter big enough to contain a baron of true British roast beef?
